OB/GYN Moo tells the naturchale birthin' folks to fuck off

I've seen the Skeptical OB blog, and I do find it interesting. I find myself agreeing with many of the things she says, especially the parts about breastfeeding, and attachment parenting being tools to control women.

In this Slate interview, she states that La Leche League started out in the 1950's as a Catholic movement. Why am I not surprised? She also states that the original proponents of natural childbirth wanted white women to have more babies. While that may or may not be the case, I find that she writes honestly.

I think all this tit feeding for 5 years as attention whoring, co-sleeping with a teenage male, attachment parenting, special sneauflayke mumbo-jumbo is a direct result of women being fed a wagon of horse manure on how to raise their kids. The woman loses all sense of who she is after she births. She is no longer Ms. [Name here], she is now Somebody's Mommy, which is exactly what the religious fundies want for all of us.

Mods, if this is the wrong place for this, then move it to the patio if need be.

Friends post Skeptical OB articles on a regular basis on Farcebook. Most of them are interesting and the links posted confirm my suspicions on attachment breeding.

When I did the Child Development class field trip to the maternity ward back in 1993 the labor delivery nurse that spoke to the class said even if you choose to udder feed you should always have a can or two of formula on hand so the father can do feedings or if you can't udder feed for whatever reason. She emphasized that the baby has two parents and both have the responsibility to take care of it.

The teacher always pushed that if you breed you shouldn't quit your job so you have an independent income in case the father/husband leaves or dies. If you do stay at home then keep up your professional connections and licenses up to date and do something related to your industry so you can go back when Bratford starts school. Teacher used herself as an example, her first husband was a police officer that died in the line of duty, she had a toddler and no job. She kept her teaching license up to date and tutored while at home so it was kind of easy for her to get a full time teaching job.
